Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 7.7 km apart · Calwell profile · Tuggeranong profile

Calwell Tuggeranong

Calwell and Tuggeranong are neighbouring areas in the Australian Capital Territory with very different profiles. Calwell is a residential suburb where the typical resident is 37, and 19.5% of people are children under 15. It is a somewhat walkable area where 99.4% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Tuggeranong is sparsely populated and largely non-residential. It has a much older population, with a typical age of 58, and is car-dependent, with almost no one living within a short walk of public transport or shops.

The gaps between these two places have generally widened since 2011. This is seen in the age gap, which grew from 17 to 21 years, and the difference in children's shares, which rose from 10.9% to 19.5%. Despite these shifting demographics, the two areas remain similar in some ways. They have a nearly identical number of schools within 3 km and share a similar level of overall advantage, with both sitting around the national figure.
